AROUT GOV. PIERCE.
He is Paid Moro for the Use of His
Name Than for HiS PEN.

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
BISMARCK, Dak., Feb. A great deal
has been said through the columns of
various newspapers and through attractive
circulars, covered with broad, black letters,
about Gov. Pierce's connection with st.
Paul newspaper in the capacity of Dakota
editor" From what have been able to
CLEAN from Gov. Pierce, through many con-
versations with him. the paper is paying
more for the use of his name than for any
work he has been or intends doing for it.
He told ME few days ago that he was not
under contract to furnish one paper, and
one paper only, with Dakota service, Gbut
proposed establishing anews bureau here or
at some other point in the territory and
handling Dakota news generally for outside
papers. He says he shall do no newspaper
work to amount to anything for several
months. as he has business in the East
which requires his attention there continu-
ally. and which Will keep him away from
here well into the summer. 1t is surmised
that the governor during his sitting in the
gubernatorial chair has reeed off another
novel. and it is the preparation of this for
publication that will keep him away. The
title of the work has not yet been made
public, but it is generally understood among
Ills ITlcuuS IiIdI l!lG cildIdCI6fS Will D6 DOTH
in Philadelphia, the quiet old city
of the Quakers, and be brought
to the territories of Dakota and
Montana, where the incidents peculiar to
frontier life will fill their pale blood with
fire and render the story one of unusual ill-
terest. In leaving the goyernorship OF the
territory, Mr.. Pierce seems to have no re-
gret, and 1 heard him say on the day he
left the office in charge of Secretary Nc
Cormack that there was nothing pleasant
around the office for him to look upon, and
he thought this feeling had arisen in him
from the uncertain way i'll which he had
been obliged to remain in the position, and
that he had lost all interest in the require
ments and duties of the Office. A continual
bounding of him by men with more brains
than principle had rendered his position a
rack of torture. There is but little doubt
that Gov. Pierce leaves the office better fixed
financially than he came into it. At that
time he was writing minion paragraphs and
double-leaded editorials for the Chicago
News at good salary. but the perquisites
were not equal to those that cluster around
the governorship of this territory He has
property here, I understand. that may be
worth considerable money some day. and he
has holdings elsewhere which give him a
firm foothold among the comforts and con-
yeniences of life. But if he left the Office
without cent, he possesses the youth, the

NAV ParaIyze ssusiuess.

WILKEsBARRE. Pa, Feb. 6.-For the
first time in Ten years the miners employed
by the Susquehanna Coal company at
Nanticoke have been compelled to remain
idle for more than half the time during the
past month. The company's reason for not
working full time is scarcity of cars caused
by the strike at Tidewater. Cars cannot be
unloaded. Some miners favor a strike.
They say that if no coal is mined no coal
will be shipped for non-union men to
handle, and in that event all kinds of bust
ness will be paraiyzed. which would bring
an end to the strike at New York with a
victory for the strikers. From what can be
learned, however, the majority of the
miners who are working on half-time in
the Wyoming coal regions don't favor a
strike. They say that if they had to work
every day in the year to supply the de-
mands of the market. total suspension for
a few weeks might then prove effect but
under existing circumstances it would be no
benefit from striking now.

BosToN, Feb. 6.-Martn ". Mclean
treasurer of the Telegraphers' Mutual Aid
and Literary association, of Boston. has
been missing since Jan. 90, and the officers
of the association have reason to believe
that he has got away with nearly $500 be-
longing to them. On that date he left Bos-
ton ostenslbly to go to Portland. Me. His
absence was attributed to some whim, but
when nearly week had passed and no
word had been received from him by either
his parents or employers, the officers be-
came suspicious, and inquiry developed al
most positive proof that he fled the city to
escape the humiliation that would fellow
detection, His papers are in such a state
as to make it impossible to ascertain just
what amount he has appropriated. but it is
thought it will exceed $7OO. The money
of the association was deposited i'll the
Franklin Savings bank in McLean's name
as treasurer. Notwithstanding his pecula-
tions the association is still strong and Wig
orous, but the projected establishment of
library and reading room will have to be
delayed. Z. j. O'Connor, who is president
OF the association. when asked the probable
cause of McLean's betrayal of his trust,
said he has dealt in oil stocks more or less
during the past few months.

Health is steadily Improving.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Manton Marble,
who has been guest of Secretary Manning
for several days, returned to New Y York last
evening. Just before leaving he said, with
reference to certain published reports con-
celning Mr.. Manning'S condition:
perceive absolutely no impairment of his
mental faculties, and as to his physical con-
oition, while, of course, he cannot now work
as many hours day as he did last year, to
my personal knowledge his progress toward
terrupted since last summer, and has been
more rapid since his return to the treasury
department last October, although his Office
is b. far the mostexacting and laborious in
the federal government. The stories that
he is unable to sign his own
name are entirely unfouuded. He signs his
name to warrants, checks and letters scores
of times daily. and, as matter Of fact, his
daily work now would overwhelm many
younger men. One OF the last letters written
by Gov. Tilden, which / received in Europe
later than the news of his death, informed
me that he should advise Mr.. Manning (who
was then visiting Greystone) to resign as
soon as he had finished his statement of the
federal finances and plan necessary for cur
rency and taxation reform. Its execution
could be left to the president and congress.
His own first duty would be then to re-estab-
lish his health. do not doubt that the pres
ident has reluctantly yielded to the same con-
cluSion.

back pay from the date of death or disa-
bility. regardless of the time when applica-
ton was made. The senate is almost
equally divided with respect to the merits
OF this measure. the test vote of last week
disclosing one majority in its favor. Sena-
tor HOar. who reported the judiciary COM
mittee's substitute for the house resolution
for investigating the accounts of the Subsi-
died Pacific railroads, intends to bring the
measure before the senate for action during
the week. He has publicly declared his
opposition to it, and he will open the debate
with speech setting forth generally his
objections to the present method of dealing
with corporate rights and particularly his
aversion to the proposed increase from 25
to 40 per cent. of the net earnings to be
collected from these corporations. Senator
Plumb has charge of the postoffice appro-
priation bill, which has the
RIGHT OF WAY
whenever he may choose to call it up.
Wednesday will be devoted to eulogies on
Senator Logan. Tomorrow, for the first
time since the holiday recess, members of
the house will individually have the oppor-
tunity to offer motions for the passage of
measures under suspension Of the rules.
Mr.. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, will be first
recognized for that purpose if the regular
order is followed. When the house ad-
journed on the last individual suspension
day. he was about to call up for passage
bill to repeal the internal revenue tax on
tobacco. Possibly he will yield to some
other person to make similar motion.
Efforts will also be made to pass in this
manner several bills providing for the erec-
ton of public buildings and. possibly, bill

special order Tuesday has been set aside
for the consideration of business reported
from the committee on foreign affairs. The
first measure to be called up under this
order is the Chinese indemnity bill, which
will be followed by the
FISHERIES RETALIATION BILL,
if the committee shall have completed its
consideration by that day. Wednesday
and Thursday will probably be consumed
in the discussion of the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill, and the considera-
ton of the naval appropriation bill may
also be entered upon aud displace private
business on Friday. The agricultural COM
mittee will make an effort to secure final
action upon the pleuro-pneumonia bill
during the week. Saturday has been desig-
mated for the consideration of the senate
trade-dollar redemption DILL, and as there is
much opposition manifested, the discussion
will consume the day. The routine of the
week, however, may be interrupted if Mr.
Weaver, of Iowa, carries out his publicly
announced intention of rising to question
of privilege and calling the attention of the
house to what he regards as violation of
the law on the part of the secretary of the
treasury III regard to the issuance of 81 and
So notes. Such action on his part would
undoubtedly give rise to a protracted fnan-
cial debate.

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
BISMARCK, Feb. Aust east of the city
a line of low hills lies against the sky, and
over these hills the moon rises nightly and
drags her shining train up into the azure
realm of which she is queen. The skies
that bend over this part of the world are
supremely beautiful, and their beauty is
most impressive when the world below has,
gone to rest. and the timid stars come out
from their hiding places one by one and hail
with radienG faces the coming of theii
glorious queen. A few evenings ago, whils
on nv way home, my attention was at
tracted by beautiful picture that hung in
the eastern heavens. The moon had come
up over the hills fifteen minutes before and
was well on her triumphal march to the
zenith. Thousands or stars beamed like
sapphires in the great stretch of blue that
hung over and around the scene and below
world OF spotlesS snow reflected the rays
OF each shimmerng Star. a stratum Of
fleecy clouds. lined with shadows and tinged
along its lower edge with silver and gold,
lay above the shining submits of the hills,
and into these clouds the moon was slowly
riding, the radience of her face tinging
| them with a thousand fascinating hues.
Behind her, reaching down to the low,
white hills. was royal train of silver and
gnu, 1iCOSJ ltu WdfCllllS llhS lilC NGll VI D

ened light of hundred stars. 1t was

l stopped on the street corner and gazed
upon it in mute admiration. | had stood
there perhaps two minutes when man,
with bowed head and hands deeply set in
his pockets, came slouchlng along the side
walk. l wanted somebody to share my
pleasure to join me in my admiration. T
could not let him pass, so, touching him Oh
the shoulder l said, pointing at the moon:
my friend, that's the most beautiful
picture ever SAW. No artist, were he ever
so clever, could paint like that. See how
proudly the night queen rides into the heav-
ems and draws her train of silver after her.
Look. do you see?"
The man stopped, looked along my ex-
tended arm and muttered: I'D eff she

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 6.-Gov. Foraker
received telegram from Gov. Oglesby, of
Illinois, to-day, stating that he had ap-
pointed Col. F. B. Thompson, of that state,
now in Paris, state commissioner to repre-
sent Illinois in the interest of dealers in
horses in France. Russia and Germany. Act
ing on the suggestion. Col. Thompson was
also appointed to represent Ohio and was
cabled to that effect tonight. 1t appears
that authorities in those countries have is
sued orders against expectation of any
horses, and a large number of parties in
Illinois have made purchases and are un-
able to secure their property.

PROMISES TO BE LIVELY.
Big Business TO Come Before Com
gress This Week.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Quite large
amount of important work has been laid
out by the senate for the coming week. but
the order in which measures are to follow
each other has been fixed. The morning
hour of each day is to be devoted to the
consideration of measures which have
passed the house and been reported favora-
bly, by senate committees. At 2 o'clock to-
morrow the bin granting charter to the
Eads ship railway, which is the unfinished
business, will be laid before the senate.
Should this bill be passed by the senate it
is the purpose of the friends of the Mica
ragua canal bill to call up that measure
as soon as possible. holding that
the rival projects to which these
two bills are designed to give
governmental recognition should be treated
alike and impartiallY. Senator Hawley
has given notice of his purpose to call up
forthwith one of the two bills to encourage
the manufacture of modern ordnance, to be
followed Immediately by the other. One
of these measures relates to army and the
other to navy ordnance. They were intro
duced and reported from the committee on
coast defenses last May. The two meas
ures (Which are parts OF one general
scheme) appropriate So. 900, 600 each. An
amendment to the one which relates to the
army has been offered by Senator Dolph
and reported favorably by the committee

600, 600 for the construction OF coast de-

embodied in these bills and the proposed
amendment appropriating $2o.0O0,00 for
guns and coast defenses are understood to
meet the most unanimous approval of the
senate, but there may be con-
siderable diversity of opinion regard
